tc helicon voice works

i just purchased the tc helicon voice works (blue rack mount) and im having some trouble connecting it to my preamp (presonus eureka rack mount). i was wondering if i could connect my mic to the preamp and the preamp to the tc helicon.

ok, so i stopped by guitar center today to ask them how to set up my tc helicon and this is what they've told me; use a 1/4 cable wire and connect that from the line input of the tc helicon into the line input of the preamp. connect a dual 1/4 cable wire into the balanced outputs (LEFT/Right) of the tc helicon and into the presonus firebox audio interface 3 / 4.

good chance that the phantom supplys will be fine
resistively coupled which should handle even a short circuit
and
with consistent wiring +v will connect with +volts and so NO potential difference and NO current flow
BUT
The phantom stuff later.

this question/thread is also over in the Recording Studio forum
(Dead Link Removed)

he owns 3 units and there is many, many valid ways to make use of them

but the language and syntax of the descriptions are all over the place

inputs to inputs
outputs to outputs
inputs ... to outputs

please
an output to an input

he has the Voice Works because it was bought after the Eureka
and seems to want to use it as an effect unit

this WILL require the ability to set up a send, return configuration in the software mixer
... I don't know which software he is using

It would work either way, but the best way (I think) would be to connect it to the Eureka first. That way the sound that gets processed in your voiceworks is already compressed and amped.

I'm assuming that the Voiceworks has a line input which it does not appear to. With all due respect, would it not be better to just plug the Voiceworks directly into the Firebox Line input and eliminate the secondary preamp altogether? To me it sounds like you're planning to overdrive the one of the preamps of which there are potentially three if you include the one in the Firebox.
